Ainsley Advocates
Driven by Horsemanship
As a professional polo player in his younger years, Ainsley Saddlery was born from Ross Ainsley's personal quest to find a comfortable polo saddle. Nowadays, you'll find Ross managing high-goal teams in the English season, or home in New Zealand working with brother Kel on their 200+ green horse operation & private polo club - all while pursuing his passion as the Lead Innovator at Ainsley Saddlery.
Ross has cultivated deep horsemanship values and extensive knowledge about saddles and tack - THAT'S what makes Ainsley Saddlery products different.

Let customers speak for us
I love our new AirTech girths and so do the horses! Comfortable, breathable, and I love the fittings to easily secure an over girth.
Very impressed by the quality of the materials and the make. They fit the horses perfectly and don’t slip. Can see these rugs lasting a long time.
I have Australian Stockhorses and a medium is pretty roomy.
Thanks for more great gear.
They were good. I could use some longer ones as well.
Hollow-Core Stirrup Irons
Absolutely love the custom brow bands. Exactly what our string needed (and helps us identify the bridle to horse!)
I own four Ainsely saddles which my horses and I absolutely love. Any friends who try these saddles are impressed by their fit and feel.
I recently ordered bridles and I'm just as happy with the quality and fit.
You can't go wrong ordering Ainsely tack. They are making high quality products with the comfort of the horse and rider in mind. I'll be back for more!
Great service with advice. Excellent quality of materials and build
Exactly what I was looking for, and fast delivery - thank you very much!
Excellent, great leather and perfect stilling🙏🙏🙏
The best on the market. Don't look and further. Must have!
The one I got is great, round shape and up in the middle. But the one on the sight is straight and flat. I like much the one I received😄🙏
These things look sexy… definitely worth it. I’ve a set for my guys
Love them and guess my horses too
The costumer response team was absolutely wonderful in helping me pick out the right size kneepad. I adore these! They don't feel bulky and the material is really high quality. They also match my boots perfectly! I am so happy, thank you Ainsley team!
I spent a lot of time trying to find a saddle that would be comfortable for both my horse and me, and the MVP Series 2 was the top of the pack. Jess and Ross were so incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions and even found someone in my area that owned one of their saddles so I could try it before I purchased it. When I finally purchased it, it got delivered within 3 days internationally.
This saddle is truly designed for the horse, it has great wither clearance on the top AND side, allows for good shoulder movement, is incredibly light, and the wool flocking doesn't trap as much heat as foam. The 19" curves up a bit in the back to help alleviate pressure near the T18.
The gullet plate was also easy to swap out to fit my horse.
The saddle is also comfortable for the rider - the flaps are good sized, so as a taller rider my knees don't stick out past the saddle. The material is secure enough for me to feel comfortable reaching out but not so sticky that I can't get out of the saddle. I also love the fact that it has changeable billets so I can easily replace those as needed.
I do wish it had a D ring for me to tether my saddle pad to, however it does have small leather straps near the stirrup bar that work as a pseudo D ring.
